Many people over the age of 40 notice that their weight starts increasing without any obvious reason. This happens due to age-related metabolism slowdown \u2014 a natural (irreversible) process that leads to an increase in fat accumulation in the body. Losing extra pounds by following a diet from time to time is possible, but as soon as you return to your usual eating habits, the weight often comes back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the only effective way to keep your weight under control is to follow a proper, balanced diet and include foods rich in phytoestrogens, healthy fats and essential fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why people gain weight after 45<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the age of 40, and especially after 45, the production of estrogen and progesterone decreases. These sex hormones play an important role in regulating the percentage of body fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With age, muscle mass also gradually decreases, which means the body requires fewer calories to maintain muscle tone than it did 5 or 10 years earlier. As a result, a person who does not adjust their physical activity level and daily nutrition habits may begin to gain weight over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important factor is related to sleep problems. People over 40 often experience frequent night awakenings and\/or insomnia. Lack of proper rest leads to increased levels of cortisol, the stress hormone that stimulates the formation of visceral fat (internal abdominal fat). This type of fat is difficult to reduce through diet or fitness alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
